What motivated and inspired you to start your own business?⠀
⠀
As someone who has grown up under the influence of entrepreneurial and hard-working parents, I suppose it was inevitable that I’d eventually try my hand at developing a concept, or providing some type of service.⠀
⠀
But reflecting over the experiences I’ve had over the past few years working with brands, highly revered investors, and observing the perpetual grind that a majority of people go through on a daily basis, I’ve come to the realisation that time, not money, is the most precious asset in life.⠀
⠀
An 80-year lifespan is 960 months or about 29,000 days long. Think of that, an entire life filled with a flurry of ambitions, dreams, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives and moments that you’ll never know existed. ⠀
⠀
All this is housed within 29,000 days. 69,6000 hours. 417,60000 minutes. 2,228,800,000 seconds. And for someone my age (25 years) this means I have approximately 19, 875 days left. It’s a sobering, almost shocking reminder of life and its impartial transmutations.⠀
⠀
That’s just it. Life is impartial. It responds in proportion to the quality of decisions we make. And we are entirely responsible for those decisions. So, through reminding myself of my mortality, coupled with the fact that I’ve been blessed with the option to act freely on a wide range of choices, I’ve chosen to pursue a path that will leave my time spent working and developing projects that I’m fulfilled by.⠀
⠀
Seneca said it best when he wrote: “A good man will not waste himself upon mean and discreditable work or be busy merely for the sake of being busy. Neither will he, as you imagine, become so in-volved in ambitious schemes that he will have continually to endure their ebb and flow.” ⠀
